2 Weeks Post Surgery

It is now 2 weeks, well 16 days, post surgery and my stitches are healing nicely. Another blood draw has shown that my numbers are still around 2000, *sigh*, so I go back in another 2 weeks where I am hoping to see a big fat zero measurement. I think the raised HCG is partly responsible for my tiredness at the moment. Experiencing pregnancy symptoms when not even pregnant truly sucks!

On a more positive front, I have started a 4 month course of DHEA and will also be adding in Royal Jelly & Bee Pollen. I have the wonderful Michaela to thank for sending me a huge box of it from the US!  I will also be taking my usual pre-pregnancy vitamin/fish oils etc.  My nurse has also prescribed Metformin, as I had a borderline Insulin Resistence result, which I will begin closer to my cycle. 

In other news, I met with my (home) Doctor yesterday and we discussed my general fertility, post ectopic surgery.  He said that the damage to my tube *may* effect things, although it would be hard to say and really, "only time will tell".

So good to hear stitches healing well. I hope your HCG goes down by next blood test.  Try not to think about the damage to your fallopian tube. It sounds like you were operated in time.  FYI My MIL lost one tube and ovary due to an eptopic and went on to have 3 more children! take care xxx
